Thanks so much for sharing...totally agree with ya. Instead of toys, DH would spend it on booze which doesn't take up the room that my hobbies would. It was also a big factor in the "verbal abuse" area that would include the money thing. Well, thankfully, he's given that up but sadly, I went through my thing and had given up on hobbies. Trying to get our family's lives back together including my interests which I need to keep me going. Will keep your voice in my head next time I start to feel guilty or he starts his little comments lol!!!
